Mario Kart TV Website Up and Running

The website for Mario Kart TV, an editing suite that records your last 12 races in Mario Kart 8, is now live.

The Mario Kart TV website lets people watch Mario Kart 8 highlight videos that players have uploaded from across the world. By signing into the website with a Nintendo Network ID, users can see their friends clips or their own. And while there isn't a dedicated Mario Kart TV app, the website is built specifically for smartphone and tablet usage as well.

When the Mario Kart TV website was revealed earlier this month, the initial images demonstrated the ability to check out time trials and rankings. That functionality doesn't appear to be ready yet, though may become available over time.

Mario Kart 8 launches in just a few hours on the Nintendo eShop in North America, with the racing game already out in other territories. IGN thought Mario Kart 8 was amazing and noted the simple yet appealing nature of Mario Kart TV.
